And 95 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 3: my oldest daughter, who wrote down with me, she checked 96 00:06:53,520 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 3: on Facebook and she messaged other family members and it 97 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 3: was while she was on Facebook that she found out 98 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 3: that Rachel had been reported missing. Nobody contacted us before then, 99 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 3: and then it wasn't until after they found Rachel's body 100 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 3: that the sheriff Department used one of my children's phone 101 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 3: to contact me to let us know that they had 102 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 3: found her body. So we kind of didn't know until 103 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 3: after the fact she'd been missing an already. 104 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 1: Past Who told you that Rachel was missing and who 105 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: told you that her body had been found? 106 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 3: My oldest daughter saw the post on Facebook on the 107 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 3: Sheriff's web page. And then it was the investigating detective 108 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 3: at the time that had called using my son's phone 109 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 3: to let us know that they had found her and 110 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 3: they believed that it was her and that she had 111 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 3: passed away. Well, they found her body. 112 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 1: And really all of this was instigated because you had 113 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 1: a quote bad feeling, Miss Morn. I've got to tell 114 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: you something. When my fiancee was murdered, I had just 115 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: walked out of a statistics exam and I was on 116 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 1: my way to my job in the library, and I 117 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 1: got a message to call Keith's family, and I knew 118 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 1: right then that Keith was dead. That minute when they 119 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,199 Speaker 1: picked up the phone and said hello, I said, it 120 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 1: is Keith gone. I knew. I don't know how that happens, 121 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 1: Miss Morn. I don't know how that happens, but it happened. 122 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 1: What was the feeling that you had. What did it 123 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 1: feel like. 124 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 3: When I woke up? It felt like it felt like 125 00:08:52,000 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 3: a shadow. It also felt like like profound like sadness, emptiness, 126 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 3: like I just knew that there was something that I 127 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 3: think it's just mother's intuition. I just knew there was 128 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 3: something that wasn't right. That there was something terribly wrong, 129 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:20,599 Speaker 3: but I didn't know what it was. And when my 130 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 3: kids were younger, teenagers, and they would, you know, go 131 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:28,960 Speaker 3: spend time with their friends, I would know if they were, 132 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 3: you know, being honest or not. It's like a mother 133 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 3: just knows her children. I can't explain it. I don't 134 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:40,559 Speaker 3: profess to be psychic or anything. I just think it's 135 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 3: because we are close knit family. And so my oldest daughter, 136 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:51,680 Speaker 3: knowing that mom's intuition is usually correct, she went looking, 137 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 3: contacting her brother's and to see, you know, if everybody 138 00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 3: was okay, and that's how we found out. 139 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 1: Do you remember what you were doing when you were 140 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,560 Speaker 1: told that Rachel's body had been found. 141 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 3: I was at my son's house. We were getting ready 142 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 3: to come back to Maryland. But we weren't sure what 143 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 3: was happening with Rachel. So I wanted to hurry up 144 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 3: and come back so we could be part of looking 145 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 3: for her. And so we had packed up our things, 146 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 3: we were getting ready to pack up the car when 147 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 3: we got the phone call that she was missing. I 148 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 3: think we were like maybe a half mile, not a 149 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 3: half mile, like a half hour or so down the 150 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 3: road from my son's house. Heading back, and my daughter 151 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,320 Speaker 3: that had traveled with me, my oldest daughter, She said, Mom, 152 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 3: you need to turn around and go home because you're 153 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,080 Speaker 3: not going to be able to drive the ten hours home. 154 00:10:56,160 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 3: And so, you know, I thought it was okay, but 155 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 3: my son and my daughter insisted that I stay a 156 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:08,960 Speaker 3: couple of days to bring my emotions and things under 157 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,200 Speaker 3: control so I could drive the ten hours back to Maryland. 158 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:27,719 Speaker 1: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace, Miss Moran. What was your 159 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 1: initial reaction. I know, when I was told that Keith 160 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 1: was dead, I didn't believe it. I immediately thought, wait, 161 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,719 Speaker 1: this is wrong. There's been some type of an accident, 162 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,080 Speaker 1: and if I can just get there fast enough, I 163 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 1: can get him to a hospital and I can fix it. 164 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 1: I can fix this. I couldn't take it in until 165 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 1: I saw someone right Bernstein Funeral Home, and that's really 166 00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:01,080 Speaker 1: when I took in that Keith was actually dead. What 167 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 1: was your initial reaction did you believe it? Did you 168 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 1: think there had been a mistake. 169 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 3: I when I first heard that she was missing, I 170 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,559 Speaker 3: had hoped that we would find her. When they said 171 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:25,079 Speaker 3: they found her body, that was probably you know that 172 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 3: you know that it's true because somebody authority is telling 173 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:32,319 Speaker 3: you it, but at the same time, you don't want 174 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 3: to accept it it's true, like like I. 175 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 6: Can't, it's too painful to believe that it's true. And 176 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,439 Speaker 6: it wasn't. 177 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 3: Actually until we unveiled her headstone that for the first 178 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 3: time it felt like Rachel is really cold. 179 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 5: And sorry. 180 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 7: I know that she's gone, but it made it like concrete, 181 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,079 Speaker 7: like she's she's really. 182 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 3: Gone and that I need to. 183 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 6: I'm trying to figure out how do I disconnect being 184 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:28,440 Speaker 6: a mom from this process of grieving, because I still 185 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:29,679 Speaker 6: feel connected to her. 186 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 7: So I'm I don't know how I'm supposed to feel. 187 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 7: So I apologize for crying. Sorry, it's because it's so 188 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 7: very sad to me. I loved Rachel very much. I 189 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 7: love all my children, so it's it's just it's been 190 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:56,240 Speaker 7: just like very hard. It's been very hard for all 191 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 7: of us. 192 00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:57,200 Speaker 3: Actually. 193 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 1: Sorry, joining me is Rachel Moren's mother speaking out before 194 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 1: we delve into the facts and what we know right 195 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 1: now about catching the killer. When we were on break, 196 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 1: Miss Moran, you said, I can't believe it's been eight 197 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 1: months and it's not getting any better. 198 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, you would, Well, I suppose I would think it's 199 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 3: been eight months, but the emotion is still so strong, 200 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 3: and like the grief and the sorrows, it's very it's 201 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 3: still very intense. It's just so sad, like she should never. 202 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 1: Have died, Like she didn't do anything wrong. 203 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 3: She was just walking the trail, which she does all 204 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 3: the time. They've been doing it since they were little 205 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 3: kids and we moved here to Maryland. That was one 206 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 3: of the things we did after supper is we would 207 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 3: go as a family walk the trail. The boys would 208 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 3: run into the woods look for bubs and frogs and 209 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 3: that kind of stuff. 210 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 1: You mean this trail or a trail near your family home, 211 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 1: this trail. 212 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 3: We lived a block from this trail for over ten years. 213 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 1: So this was her childhood home and childhood area. So 214 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,280 Speaker 1: she had walked this trail many, many times. And there's 215 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 1: a lot too what you just said, her familiarity with 216 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 1: the trail, feeling at home or at ease there to 217 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 1: the point where I'm sure no fault of her own. 218 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 1: I do it too. She fell at ease and probably 219 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 1: let her defenses down like we all do when we're 220 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 1: at home or we're doing something we do every day. 221 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 1: That's normal. Karen Stark, Can you weigh in on with me, 222 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: as Karen Start, renounced psychologist, TV radio trauma expert at 223 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 1: car start dot com, careen with a C in case 224 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 1: you're trying to reach her. Can you, and I'm sure 225 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 1: you can. I'm just the JD. You're the shrink. Can 226 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 1: you assign a word or words to what missus Warren 227 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 1: is going through? 228 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 8: This is so typical of grief, Nancy. I mean I 229 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 8: recognized it right away. I'm sure you did too. That 230 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 8: you just can't accept that the person has died, and 231 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 8: it takes a very long time for that to sink in. 232 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 8: You're also talking about a mother, that connection, that mother's 233 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 8: instinct that she talked about, and that will never go away, 234 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 8: that feeling of being connected, but having to accept it. 235 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:41,960 Speaker 1: It takes a. 236 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 8: Long time till we're able to accept the loss of 237 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 8: a child who should never die. Before you, it's not 238 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 8: the way it's supposed to work. 239 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:56,440 Speaker 1: What do we know about the killer and where do 240 00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 1: we get that information from the crime scene? Listen? 241 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 9: Since the body of Rachel Marinn was discovered in a 242 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 9: drainage tunnel not far from the main entrance of the 243 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 9: MA and Paw Trail, Michael Gabriziski has spoken out to 244 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 9: the media about what he and his stepdaughter found or witnessed. 245 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 9: The following information has been reported as fact by Michael Gabrazski. 246 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 9: Claim number one, gabriziski stepdaughter Cecilia discovered the body of 247 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,520 Speaker 9: Rachel Marin in a drainage tunnel. Claim number two. Rachel 248 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 9: Marin was lying on her back, fully naked and she 249 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 9: had brutal head trauma. It looked like her head had 250 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 9: been smashed with a rock. Claim number three. There was 251 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,439 Speaker 9: a fifteen to twenty foot blood trail, so it looked 252 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 9: like she had been beaten and dragged into position. Claim 253 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 9: number four. The right side of her face was gone, 254 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,919 Speaker 9: and claim number five, it looked like the killer was 255 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:49,960 Speaker 9: trying to erase her identity. 256 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 1: Again. Joining me an all star panel to make sense 257 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,680 Speaker 1: of what we know right now. But I just wanted 258 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:58,359 Speaker 1: to say to miss Moran. Miss Moran, I was told 259 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:03,160 Speaker 1: nothing about my fiance, says murderers the case surrounding it. 260 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:07,359 Speaker 1: Before trial, I was called in as a witness, although 261 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 1: I did not see the murder occur, and I remember 262 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:14,639 Speaker 1: coming off the witness stand and seeing case bloody shirt 263 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 1: on the State's Council table, and it literally stopped me 264 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 1: in my tracks. I was not prepared for that, and 265 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:28,440 Speaker 1: I want to apologize to you for going through these facts. 266 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 1: And the reason I'm doing it, missus Moran, is because 267 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 1: these facts are going to help catch her killer. And 268 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:43,240 Speaker 1: only these facts are going to help catch her killer. 269 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 1: I hate to rehash them with you there, but I 270 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 1: want your input. You are her mother. You know more 271 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:54,359 Speaker 1: about her and this trail than anybody on this panel 272 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 1: or anybody out there period. So please you, along with 273 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:03,040 Speaker 1: your attorney ran off Rice, please jump in whenever you 274 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,480 Speaker 1: hear something that's wrong or you want to comment on. 275 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:10,119 Speaker 1: I want to go now to another special guest joining us, 276 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 1: Tim Papa, former FBI profiler, supervisory special Agent. And listen 277 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:21,880 Speaker 1: to this founder and behavioral content creator of Storytellers on YouTube. 278 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 1: He has walked the trail, he has examined the crime 279 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 1: scene from the FBI. Tim Papa, Tim helped me out 280 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:37,479 Speaker 1: what is taking so long. We've got the guy's DNA, 281 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,639 Speaker 1: We've got what I believe to be an excellent composite, 282 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 1: and you know composites can go in a lot of 283 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:48,920 Speaker 1: different directions. Example, have you seen those sketch artists drawings 284 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:50,919 Speaker 1: of what goes on in federal court where they're on 285 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 1: our cameras. Nobody looks like those sketches at all. I've 286 00:19:56,040 --> 00:20:01,679 Speaker 1: worked on a lot of composites, including composites post mortem 287 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 1: of victims when I needed somebody to identify a victim. 288 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 1: What I'm telling you is, I think this is a 289 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:11,199 Speaker 1: pretty good composite. So that said, Tim Pappa, help me. 290 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:11,720 Speaker 3: No. 291 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 10: I mean, the timing is frustrating. But if you have 292 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:18,200 Speaker 10: an inexperienced killer, which is what I think we have here, 293 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 10: it's true that they might make more mistakes, but it 294 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 10: also is likely true that they're not going to have 295 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 10: a pattern because they're inexperienced. So they might be learning, 296 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,359 Speaker 10: but they also might be becoming more reckless in some 297 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:32,200 Speaker 10: of their behaviors. 298 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:40,640 Speaker 1: Rachel was murdered in brutal fashion in Maryland, bel Air, Maryland. 299 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:46,480 Speaker 1: This guy's DNA pops up from a crime scene in 300 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:50,640 Speaker 1: LA That's where we're getting a lot of this composite. 301 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 1: So he attacks a group of people, a group inside 302 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,919 Speaker 1: this home. He's brazen. I believe he's sex assault at 303 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,399 Speaker 1: someone in there. A child came to the door of 304 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:07,159 Speaker 1: the room and started screaming and woke everybody up. This 305 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:13,680 Speaker 1: guy is brazen. Now how does this guy pop up 306 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 1: in bel Air, Maryland and LA Two violent crime scenes, 307 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:24,119 Speaker 1: two sex assaults, one murder, and we don't have him yet. 308 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 1: So Tim, that's what I'm saying. I think this is 309 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 1: a really good composite based on what I can see. 310 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:29,400 Speaker 1: It is. 311 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 10: You know, Rachel may have just been a target of opportunity, 312 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,920 Speaker 10: but he would have been familiar enough with that trail 313 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 10: to know where he might have some cover in timing 314 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 10: to attack someone. I think this comes down in relationships 315 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:43,880 Speaker 10: that there are still people who are not coming forward 316 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:44,920 Speaker 10: who have information. 317 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 1: Well, yeah, hey, I can figure that out, and I'm 318 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 1: not an FBI profile or Tim pap. I need a 319 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 1: little bit more from you about that. But I also 320 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,920 Speaker 1: want to say you initially said you believe he's an 321 00:21:55,960 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 1: experienced killer. I know he laid in wait and Joe 322 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,080 Speaker 1: Scott's going to jump in on that. Joe Scott Morning 323 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 1: Morgan because there's a curve, and Miss Moran and Randolph 324 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 1: Rice jump in if you know better. But there's apparently 325 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:15,680 Speaker 1: a curve in that trail enough to where she could 326 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 1: be walking forward and can't see him like a predator, 327 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 1: like a wolf, waiting around the curve. And also there 328 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 1: was a lot of foliage at the time Rachel was attacked, 329 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:35,679 Speaker 1: which could have obscured her vision. He was waiting like 330 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:39,680 Speaker 1: a hyena for her to come along. From his vantage point, 331 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 1: he could see her coming, but she couldn't see him. 332 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,679 Speaker 5: Laid a couple of groundworks, so that may help out 333 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:46,119 Speaker 5: a little bit. 334 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,640 Speaker 4: So the video that you saw that was in March 335 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 4: of March in Los Angeles of a doorbell camera that 336 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 4: captured that individual leaving the home. The belief is that 337 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 4: he did not enter the home to that door, so 338 00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,639 Speaker 4: that's why we don't have that. The police don't have 339 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:03,879 Speaker 4: that March of twenty twenty three, that video is taken. 340 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,360 Speaker 4: Then fast forward to August of twenty twenty three when 341 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,880 Speaker 4: Rachel's body is found on the Man Paul Trail, which 342 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 4: anybody from Maryland in that area of Maryland, which is 343 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:14,919 Speaker 4: the northeast part of Maryland, will tell you that the 344 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,400 Speaker 4: Man Paul Trail is not a trail that. 345 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 5: Is easy to find. 346 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 4: It is off the beaten path, it is not near 347 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 4: the main drag. You have to really know the area 348 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 4: or get familiar a little bit with the area or 349 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,239 Speaker 4: have some connection to the area to be able to 350 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 4: find the Man Paul Trail. It's not off to Interstate 351 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 4: ninety five, which is a very popular interstate that runs 352 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,440 Speaker 4: up the east coast of the United States, runs through 353 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 4: Harford County, but even the Man Paul Trail is probably 354 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 4: a good ten to fifteen miles from I ninety five, 355 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:45,920 Speaker 4: So this is not a trail where you would just 356 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 4: hop off a major interstate and find this trail. 357 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 5: So he has to have some knowledge, and. 358 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 4: That's sort of one of the reasons why we did 359 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 4: what we did early on the investigation of our digital 360 00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:01,640 Speaker 4: campaign to the Hispanic community, the flyers that we presented 361 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 4: in both English and Spanish to those areas, because we 362 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 4: believed and we still believe, as Tim indicated that he 363 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 4: has a connection to this area, as we believe he 364 00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:14,640 Speaker 4: also has a connection to that neighborhood in Los Angeles, 365 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:20,160 Speaker 4: which is just south of downtown. So hitting those areas 366 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,639 Speaker 4: hoping that somebody will know him, recognize him, and be 367 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 4: able to identify him as what we've been trying to do. 368 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 4: We've even got now. Patty can tell you that she 369 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,200 Speaker 4: went on camera last week and we shot a series 370 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 4: of television commercials that we're going to start in the 371 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,879 Speaker 4: next couple of weeks, digital media, hitting specific zip codes 372 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:41,360 Speaker 4: in Los Angeles as well as Hartford County as well 373 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,879 Speaker 4: as the border communities, because we know this is a 374 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:47,679 Speaker 4: Hispanic male who there's a possibility that somebody on the 375 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:51,159 Speaker 4: border communities may know who he is as well, and 376 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,680 Speaker 4: we're going to hit those with social media campaigns to 377 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:55,400 Speaker 4: where somebody can see those pictures. 378 00:24:55,680 --> 00:25:00,560 Speaker 1: Rachel Morin's mother is not able to move forward. She's stuck, 379 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:06,120 Speaker 1: and now she's spending her own money, her own savings, 380 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:12,879 Speaker 1: to create commercials, create flyers to help catch her daughter's killer. 381 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:17,639 Speaker 1: Won't you help us? Joining me is Rachel's mother, Patty 382 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 1: Moorean and the family lawyer joining us, Randolph. You have 383 00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:25,439 Speaker 1: a flyer, Randolph Rise High Profile, a lawyer that is 384 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:26,639 Speaker 1: representing the morn family. 385 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:27,199 Speaker 5: Sure. 386 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 4: So this is the two sided flyer that we sent 387 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:34,680 Speaker 4: to ten thousand homes in and around the crime scene. 388 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:35,440 Speaker 5: In Los Angeles County. 389 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,800 Speaker 4: We were able to identify the home based on Google Images. 390 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:40,520 Speaker 4: If you take it to look at the video, there's 391 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,320 Speaker 4: a very unique ridgeline across the street. 392 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,360 Speaker 5: We were able to search those. 393 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:48,679 Speaker 4: Neighborhoods find the home and then pinpoint that and drop 394 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 4: a dot and hit ten thousand homes around that through 395 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,679 Speaker 4: the use of what's called EDDM and I don't mean 396 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 4: to get the weeds here, but this is a program 397 00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 4: that most people won't realize that the postal Service developed 398 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 4: to find lost dogs, but we used it to make 399 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 4: everybody aware of this man. At the time, we didn't 400 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,240 Speaker 4: have the sketch, so we were using the video that 401 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,159 Speaker 4: you see there. We took still shots from that and 402 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 4: put it on a reward flyer and delivered to every 403 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:20,440 Speaker 4: single home in the neighborhood around that crime seeing Los 404 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 4: Angeles at the end of twenty twenty three. In addition 405 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:26,639 Speaker 4: to that, we took this flyer, we sent packs of 406 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:30,240 Speaker 4: these to every single high school in the area around here, 407 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 4: because that suspect is identified as a fairly young man, 408 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 4: probably in his mid early twenties, and believing that maybe 409 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 4: he went to high school that area. That flyer went 410 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,760 Speaker 4: to every single high school principal and asked to distribute 411 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 4: to their staff, to their employees, to the students, to 412 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:48,119 Speaker 4: themselves to try to identify who this man is. And 413 00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,879 Speaker 4: then this was also coupled with a digital campaign that 414 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 4: we ran in Spanish to all these Spanish speaking websites 415 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,239 Speaker 4: in Harford County as well as Los Angeles County at 416 00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:01,440 Speaker 4: the end of last year. So we're trying every possible 417 00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 4: way to get these images in front of anybody who 418 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:08,919 Speaker 4: can identify just a name. So all we need is 419 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,720 Speaker 4: a name, and we've put in ten thousand dollars and 420 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 4: I got another ten thousand dollars in the rewards now 421 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:15,880 Speaker 4: up to thirty five thousand. And we've said to everybody 422 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 4: that's listened, tell us a name. You get thirty five 423 00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 4: thousand dollars. 424 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 5: That's all we need. 425 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:24,560 Speaker 1: No questions, asked one name, two words for thirty five 426 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:28,240 Speaker 1: thousand dollars. Ms Mauran, I got to tell you got 427 00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 1: some lawyer right there. Those techniques that you're employing are phenomenal, 428 00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,639 Speaker 1: especially the use of EDDM, which I believe stands for 429 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:42,320 Speaker 1: every Door Direct Mail and that is used by the 430 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:47,119 Speaker 1: Postal service guys.

Other than that, 505 00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:28,719 Speaker 3: there really isn't anything else that like, I didn't know 506 00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:32,520 Speaker 3: about the hat or any of those things until the 507 00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:36,720 Speaker 3: sheriff did his podcast where he released all that information. 508 00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:39,400 Speaker 3: That was stuff that wasn't told to me beforehand. 509 00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:43,360 Speaker 1: Mis Moran, have you gone back to the spot where 510 00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:44,760 Speaker 1: Rachel's body was found? 511 00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:52,440 Speaker 3: Sadly, yes, and it was just recently I couldn't after 512 00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:56,160 Speaker 3: she passed. We did, and sorry for the poor English. 513 00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,440 Speaker 3: I have a hard time thinking because I'm so emotional. 514 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:05,040 Speaker 3: We did a walk, a walk to remember Rachel where 515 00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:08,000 Speaker 3: there were about two thousand people that had come out 516 00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:12,320 Speaker 3: for this walk, and it was in August. Then we 517 00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:17,239 Speaker 3: did a celebration of life service for her and it 518 00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:20,760 Speaker 3: was broadcast on YouTube so those that couldn't be there 519 00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:28,160 Speaker 3: could view it and see video clips of her growing up. 520 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:30,280 Speaker 1: And then. 521 00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:33,880 Speaker 3: Since that Walk of life, I haven't been able to 522 00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:38,280 Speaker 3: bring myself to go on the trail just because it 523 00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:43,680 Speaker 3: just felt like so fresh, like the death just happened, 524 00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:46,280 Speaker 3: like it was so fresh. I couldn't bring myself to 525 00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:51,360 Speaker 3: go near it. But one of my sons, wanting to 526 00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:57,080 Speaker 3: help me to move forward, said, Mom, it might help 527 00:33:57,120 --> 00:34:00,480 Speaker 3: you if you just walk and I'll explain thing as 528 00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:06,640 Speaker 3: we go along the trail. Just thinks that he thought 529 00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:10,000 Speaker 3: it's speculation, but the things that he thought. But then 530 00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:12,160 Speaker 3: he brought me to the place where they did find 531 00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:15,160 Speaker 3: her body. 532 00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:14,319 Speaker 13: And. 533 00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:16,520 Speaker 1: It was. 534 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:22,799 Speaker 3: It was very it was very hard, but it was 535 00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:28,160 Speaker 3: also one of those like signposts that makes it final 536 00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:32,560 Speaker 3: that she really was in this place at that time, 537 00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:39,080 Speaker 3: and so it's kind of like a timestamp. But she's 538 00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:42,600 Speaker 3: not there anymore. And I know that since then people 539 00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:48,360 Speaker 3: have actually gone to that place, and I know that 540 00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:52,319 Speaker 3: there's like graffiti that people are leaving behind now and 541 00:34:52,360 --> 00:35:00,560 Speaker 3: they're like messages to Rachel. But so I walked trail. 542 00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,760 Speaker 3: I haven't been since back since then though with. 543 00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:09,120 Speaker 1: Me is Rachel's mom, Patty Moorean, Miss Moran. Rachel wasn't 544 00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:15,600 Speaker 1: just killed, she was brutalized, but you have reason to 545 00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:19,000 Speaker 1: believe she felt safe on the mon Pot Trail. Why. 546 00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:22,520 Speaker 3: Yes, the town of bel Air is a small town. 547 00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:27,520 Speaker 3: We have a community college that's just a little bit 548 00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:32,040 Speaker 3: of waste from the town, and we have lived here 549 00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:36,520 Speaker 3: for over twenty years. Everybody it's a small family trail. 550 00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:41,879 Speaker 3: Everybody in the town walks, runs, bikes this trail. We've 551 00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:44,960 Speaker 3: been doing it for over twenty years. Nothing like this 552 00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:49,120 Speaker 3: has happened in our town. Like this, people feel safe. 553 00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:53,200 Speaker 3: Everyone knows each other. You know, you're on the trail 554 00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:57,319 Speaker 3: so often that people say hi to each other. It 555 00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:00,360 Speaker 3: was a very safe place, so she had no reason 556 00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:03,319 Speaker 3: to believe that she was in harm's way. 557 00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:05,800 Speaker 5: And it's just to use some perspective. 558 00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:10,759 Speaker 4: Harford County maybe has five homicides a year, and they're 559 00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:14,880 Speaker 4: typically either drug related or domestically violent where there's you know, 560 00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:18,040 Speaker 4: maybe there was something growing. Very rarely do they have 561 00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:23,000 Speaker 4: these random attacks, and really most people can't have recent 562 00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:25,640 Speaker 4: memory of anything like this happening in such a small, 563 00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:28,400 Speaker 4: close knit, almost rural community. 564 00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:31,920 Speaker 1: Ms. Moran, you stated that as part of that walk, 565 00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:39,680 Speaker 1: you saw where Rachel's body was found. You know, I've 566 00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:44,200 Speaker 1: never gone back to where Keith was murdered. It took 567 00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:47,840 Speaker 1: me so long to get out of that depression. I 568 00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:50,480 Speaker 1: don't want to retrigger it, especially now that I have 569 00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:55,000 Speaker 1: children to raise. What went through your mind when you 570 00:36:55,080 --> 00:37:00,680 Speaker 1: saw that spot. 571 00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:03,440 Speaker 3: It's it's like I know that it's a fact, but 572 00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:06,400 Speaker 3: at the same time, it's like I can't believe that 573 00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:10,399 Speaker 3: it's real or true. It's I can't explain it's it's 574 00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:13,719 Speaker 3: almost like it's surreal. It's like you have to separate 575 00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:22,040 Speaker 3: this is a fact from your emotions. And so in 576 00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:24,160 Speaker 3: a part of my brain is like, yes, this is 577 00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:27,640 Speaker 3: a fact, but I still can't. I'm still having a 578 00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:34,200 Speaker 3: hard time just thinking that she's gone, Like I just 579 00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:38,120 Speaker 3: I can't comprehend. I know that it's true, but my 580 00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:40,120 Speaker 3: heart won't let me comprehend it. 581 00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:45,920 Speaker 13: And so that's why I avoided the avoided the trail, 582 00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:51,399 Speaker 13: and avoided the tunnel because I wanted to avoid the pain. 583 00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:59,600 Speaker 13: So yeah, so in one sense, it did help to 584 00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:03,920 Speaker 13: go there and to see it, because then it's like 585 00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,760 Speaker 13: your emotions aren't running all over the place. You have 586 00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:10,920 Speaker 13: some fact to settle on. But at the same time, 587 00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:14,160 Speaker 13: it's it's very hard because then you have to accept 588 00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:17,600 Speaker 13: the fact is true. I have to accept the fact 589 00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:22,839 Speaker 13: that she has passed away that she's been killed, and 590 00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:28,959 Speaker 13: so it's it's been hard, like I don't know how 591 00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:32,000 Speaker 13: I'm supposed to I don't know how I'm supposed to be. 592 00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:42,080 Speaker 1: Won't you help us help Rachel's mother? Just two words? 593 00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:49,920 Speaker 1: Two words for thirty five thousand dollars four one zero 594 00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:54,359 Speaker 1: eight three six seven seven eight eight repeat four one 595 00:38:54,480 --> 00:39:02,000 Speaker 1: zero eight three six seven, seven eight eight, Just two words. 596 00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:09,880 Speaker 1: We stop and remember American hero police officer Matthew Rugie, 597 00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:16,439 Speaker 1: just twenty seven years old.

He loved helping people in need, 601 00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:39,440 Speaker 1: leaving behind his parents, Sean and Christy, and his family. 602 00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:47,719 Speaker 1: We remember American hero police officer Matthew Rugie.
